/**
 * In particle physics, the neutralino[1] is a hypothetical particle predicted
 * by supersymmetry. There are four neutralinos that are fermions and are
 * electrically neutral, the lightest of which is typically stable. They are
 * typically labeled N͂0 1 (the lightest), N͂0 2, N͂0 3 and N͂0 4 (the heaviest)
 * although sometimes is also used when is used to refer to charginos. These
 * four states are mixtures of the bino and the neutral wino (which are the
 * neutral electroweak gauginos), and the neutral higgsinos. As the neutralinos
 * are Majorana fermions, each of them is identical with its antiparticle.
 * Because these particles only interact with the weak vector bosons, they are
 * not directly produced at hadron colliders in copious numbers. They primarily
 * appear as particles in cascade decays of heavier particles (decays that
 * happen in multiple steps) usually originating from colored supersymmetric
 * particles such as squarks or gluinos. In R-parity conserving models, the
 * lightest neutralino is stable and all supersymmetric cascade-decays end up
 * decaying into this particle which leaves the detector unseen and its
 * existence can only be inferred by looking for unbalanced momentum in a
 * detector. The heavier neutralinos typically decay through a neutral Z boson
 * to a lighter neutralino or through a charged W boson to a light chargino:[2]
 * N͂0 2 → N͂0 1 + Z0 → Missing energy + l+ + l− N͂0 2 → C͂± 1 + W∓ → N͂0 1 + W±
 * + W∓ → Missing energy + l+ + l− The mass splittings between the different
 * neutralinos will dictate which patterns of decays are allowed.
